Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) joined the chorus of hard-right influencers posting their past text messages from Charlie Kirk as the MAGA world debates Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson’s claim that Kirk had turned against Israel. Owens has gone on to wildly claim Kirk was feeling “blackmailed” by Israel ahead of his death despite Kirk being one of the most vocal pro-Israel voices on the right.
Greene added her voice to the firestorm on Wednesday with a post that included a screenshot of a text message from Kirk, asking her if she would like to take part in a debate about AIPAC at a recent Turning Point event.
“Charlie Kirk invited me to speak at Amfest a few weeks ago before he was martyred,” Greene began her post, adding:
This was after I called for AIPAC to register under FARA and said that the nuclear armed secular government of Israel was committing genocide in Gaza and killing innocent children, Christians, and people.
He asked if I wanted to debate about AIPAC but made it clear NOT against him.
He said “we”, him – TPUSA, would do whatever I want on the issue.
If you don’t know who to believe, between Bibi Netanyahu (a foreign country’s leader) or Charlie’s personal friends Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, I’m posting my last text message with Charlie.
“Believe Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson,” added Greene, referring to the two MAGA influencers pushing anti-Israel conspiracy theories around Kirk’s death and legacy, before going on to say:
And at the same time always remember:
1. Charlie Kirk is an American Christian.
2. Charlie Kirk is a devoted loving husband and father.
3. Charlie Kirk is a Christian movement leader, a giant in American history.
4. Charlie Kirk is a Christian martyr for Jesus Christ.
5. Charlie Kirk is a Free Speech warrior and was committed to non-violent debate.
“Do not allow a foreign country, foreign agents, and another religion tell you about Charlie Kirk. And I hope a foreign country and foreign agents and another religion does not take over Christian Patriotic Turning Point USA,” she concluded, indirectly referring to Israel and American Jews.
